You just have to read this piece from Helen Ross on PGATour.com on Freddie Jacobson and his family. Especially the uplifting story of his son Max, who is well on the road to recovery after having heart surgery last year.

An excerpt.

A few weeks before the surgery, Freddie and Erika tried to ease the tension with a change of scenery, so they flew to the family homeland of Sweden.
One night before he fell asleep, Max started thinking about the surgery. He had a question for his parents.
“What happens if I don’t wake up?”
His mother’s reply was swift: “Don’t worry about it, you will. They’re professionals. The doctors are professionals.”
But Max, with the clarity of a child, cut to the chase. "Well, my dad is a professional, but he makes bogeys sometimes.”
Erika, desperately wanting to reassure her son, reminded him that golf was just a game. “And the doctors don’t play a game,” she said firmly.
There is also this little snippet of video from Inside The PGA Tour.
